Erich Czerwonski
Erich Czerwonski , sometimes mistakenly written Erich Czerwonsky (born October 3, 1889 as Adolf Erich Czerwonski in Berlin ; † August or September 1940 there ) was a German film architect .
Life
Czerwonski had studied architecture before embarking on a professional career as a set designer, draftsman and set painter. He started his work in film immediately after the end of the First World War as an assistant to the film architect Hermann Warm at the production company Decla-Bioscop. At the end of 1920, Erich Czerwonski became the second chief architect for the first time. In 1922/23, the Berliner implemented the designs of more renowned colleagues, including Hermann Warm again, in two productions by FW Murnau . The majority of Czerwonski's film constructions, however, were made for less important cinema productions.
In a period of transition from silent to sound film (1928-29) he pioneered: So Erich Czerwonski designed the scenes of the first Tobis -Kurztonfilmen Paganini in Venice, The last song, and Nelson plays and Yours is my heart and to tune the world and I loved you , who are considered the first two full-length sound films in Germany.
In the 1930s Czerwonski was one of the busiest production designers in German cinema; In just a decade he designed the film structures for over 80 short and full-length films, "which showed him to be an experienced technician without major artistic ambitions." Czerwonski died in the late summer of 1940: the very nearsighted man got caught in the wheels of a train one night during the blackout caused by the war .
Erich Czerwonski's son was the still photographer and cameraman Heinz Czerwonski (1921–1970).
